Indyke, PLLC) who served as Jeffrey Epstein's personal lawyer from at least the 1990s onward, managing his trusts, corporate entities, and tax-sensitive financial structures. Named co-executor of Epstein's estate alongside accountant Richard Kahn in a will signed August 8, 2019, two days before Epstein's death. Held signatory authority on numerous Epstein bank accounts and served as officer or director of entities including Southern Trust Company, Financial Trust Company, and HBRK Associates in the U.S. Virgin Islands. EFTA documents name Indyke as trustee of the Butterfly Trust (established December 27, 2006) alongside Richard Kahn, with Epstein as grantor.
Deutsche Bank records show Indyke's law firm received regular deposits from Epstein's JPMorgan account. Deutsche Bank compliance flagged Indyke's PLLC account for cash structuring - three instances since July 2016 of cashing checks just below the $10,000 Currency Transaction Report threshold - triggering a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) and internal compliance meetings in July 2017. Separately, JPMorgan Chase filed SARs flagging more than $1.3 billion in suspicious wire transfers through Epstein's accounts, noting Indyke "controlled the movement of Epstein's funds as signer of several Epstein accounts." Indyke and Kahn managed at least 140 different bank accounts for Epstein and Epstein-controlled entities. Listed in Epstein's black book with 5 phone numbers.
The USVI sued Indyke in 2020 alleging he was an "indispensable captain" of Epstein's trafficking network who helped fraudulently obtain $80 million or more in tax benefits; the case settled for $105 million in November 2022 with no admission of wrongdoing. In February 2026, the Epstein estate agreed to a class action settlement of up to $35 million with trafficking survivors. Subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee and scheduled for a closed-door deposition on March 5, 2026.
Following Epstein's death, Indyke joined the Parlatore Law Group as of counsel around October 2022. The firm, led by Tim Parlatore, is known for representing Donald Trump in the classified documents case and Pete Hegseth. Indyke reportedly departed the firm in January 2026, shortly after the latest DOJ Epstein file releases renewed public scrutiny. Cornell Law School, class of 1991.

Background
Darren K. Indyke is a New York-based attorney who operated through his law firm Darren K. Indyke PLLC. He served as Jeffrey Epstein's personal lawyer from at least the early 2000s onward, managing Epstein's trusts, corporate entities, and complex financial structures. His law firm maintained accounts at Deutsche Bank alongside numerous Epstein-related entities, and he held signatory authority and power-of-attorney roles across multiple Epstein accounts and corporate vehicles.
Indyke served as an officer or director of several Epstein-affiliated entities, including Southern Trust Company, Inc., a U.S. Virgin Islands corporation whose board resolutions he oversaw. He was listed in Epstein's black book with five phone numbers, indicating a deep and longstanding professional relationship. Documents show him communicating with Deutsche Bank personnel and directing financial transactions on Epstein's behalf, including wire transfers and asset movements.
Following Epstein's death on August 10, 2019, Indyke was named co-executor of Epstein's estate alongside accountant Richard Kahn pursuant to a will signed just two days prior. The U.S. Virgin Islands subsequently filed suit against Indyke in 2020, and the case settled in November 2022 for $105 million with no admission of wrongdoing. Indyke was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee and scheduled for a closed-door deposition in March 2026.
Epstein Connection
Indyke was Jeffrey Epstein's personal attorney and primary legal architect of his financial empire. He held power of attorney over Epstein's Deutsche Bank accounts, served as a director of Southern Trust Company, Inc. in the U.S. Virgin Islands, managed corporate entities such as JEGE LLC and Southern Financial LLC, and directed wire transfers and asset movements on Epstein's behalf. His law firm Darren K. Indyke PLLC maintained its own account at Deutsche Bank within the same relationship cluster as Epstein's personal and entity accounts. He was named co-executor of Epstein's estate in the will signed August 8, 2019. A 2015 newspaper article documented that Indyke purchased property on East 65th Street in New York in 2010 that was subsequently converted into apartments, one of which became Ghislaine Maxwell's residence.
